Donut Nerdness

A friend of mine went back east for an extended Thanksgiving break. She returned to Los Angeles and brought back... Dunkin' Donuts. A whole dozen for all of us east coasters. I had a glazed chocolate one. It was a beautiful, beautiful thing.

I haven't met an east coaster whose eyes don't light up whenever Dunkin' Donuts is mentioned. The donuts are great, and the coffee is even better. I would have had sex with that donut if it was possible... er, well, I guess it is possible, actually, based on the structure of a donut but, well, you get what I'm saying. And despite having their corporate offices in California (or so I've been led to believe), there are no Dunkin' Donuts shops out here. I'm pretty sure the closest one is somewhere in Arizona.

I don't understand what the hold up is. There are donut shops on every single corner and in every single strip mall in LA. There are Winchell's Donuts. There is even a Krispy Kreme somewhere in the Valley. And, might I add, Krispy Kreme is the Coldplay of donuts. Everyone seems to love them, but the truth of the matter is, they suck. Hard. They just are not good. Chris Rock claims they're so good they must have crack in them. It's a funny bit, but not true. They're incredibly overrated. The only decent one is the Pumpkin Spice donut, which they made from Halloween through January of 2004-05, but didn't make this year for some stupid reason.

This state can't get anything right.

The frosting-filled Krispy Kreme with chocolate on the outside will make you a believer. But Coldplay sucks.

(Dunkin Donuts coffee cup on my desk as I write this. The cold weather is worth it.)

Dan, I will admit there are exceptions to the rule. But those glazed ones everyone loves? Yeah, not so much.

As far as the chains go, the DD donuts are aight, but in the NE some of the best donuts come from the little mom and pop bakeries, i.e Shelby Donuts. Mmmmmmm.

The coffee does indeed rule though.

And the best sex I ever had was with nice, tight little sour cream glazed. Hot!
